All seals have a pleasant appearance, their, silky, smooth, and sleek sort of like a torpedo. Fur seals and sea lions have ears, whereas true seals do not have ears. True seals, although they do not have ears, hear the same as fur seals. All seals have finned feet. When they're out of the water they crawl like a caterpillar using their front feet to slug along the ground. All seals have big round lovely eyes that can see underwater and above the surface. For hunting, seals use their eyes and their whiskers to feel around as their moving along the surface of the ocean which aids the seals in looking for mussels or clams. Luckily, Seals have valve nostrils so when they dive deep they do not choke from the water coming into their nose. In closing,

During the breeding season a male mates with a female and generally stays with her (until the time her pup is unaccustomed), but takes no part in raising the pup. Females give birth to a single pup which is weaned 3-4 weeks after birth. During this time the female spends the entire time on the ice with the pup.…

    After a long day of swimming the otter would roll on the ground or rub on a log to dry themselves. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter can last up to 6-8 minutes under water, so hunting for food is easy. Their forefeet are helpful because they use them to capture their food and “Their hind feet says wildlife explorer states, “Are used for swimming.” “Their eyes stay shut for 40 days after birth,” states the wildlife explorer. According to the wildlife explorer, “Their number of young is 1-6 but usually 1-2.” One of the most interesting facts is that if several otters are swimming in one straight line with their backs out of the water their backs can be mistaken for the humps of a sea monster. Its genus and species is “Aonyx Cinera” that is also the species for the African Otter. Although they are the same species the African otter is much bigger, and weighs up to 75lb and just like the Oriental Small Clawed Otter and the Asian Otter they all have white markings on their faces, chests and throat. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter is one otter that loves to swim and definitely loves to snack on…

    Looking at the chart shown in the results section, it is clear the most frequent behaviors are bark, yell, and yelp. The correlation between these three behaviors is that all of them are vocal behaviors. Beginning with the behavior of barking, barking is a very typical form of communication for seals and revolves around establishing and defending territory and mates (SOURCE). Harbor seals, usually males, will bark at other males in order to create territorial boundaries among themselves. These territorial boundaries are not created in order increase access to food because the diet of the harbor seal consists primarily of fish, which are located only in the water. This means that seals secure territories in order to secure mates. There is a competition between males to acquire mates and reproduce and it is for this reason that it's so important for males to be territorial.…
